I'd ask your friend, she's knows her bird. If he's not normally an aggressive bird then he was probably just coming to greet you.

I have had aggressive birds fly and attack me on more than one occasion though. I'll never forget the Red throated conure we had up for adoption at the place I used to work. We had her out on a play-gym and she flew over and landed on my shoulder and bit the crap out of my ear, it was one of the worse bites I've ever had. After we learned of her aggression my boss decided to keep her rather than adopting her out. My boss can now handle her, but she's the only one who can.

I agree with this.
Especially since Quakers have been know to have nasty attitudes.
My sister's friend has a quaker(came from the same parrents as my quaker did, but this one is a year older) that is absolutely evil.. and eventhough my quaker is still young, he lets visitors hold him without a problem.
It completely depends on the bird.

I own a three year old male Quaker. If that bird flew to you , my thoughts are that he wanted to get to know you. Now Joey my bird, would not do that at first. He would check you out then if I bring him to you and he does not since your fear he will go to you. And probable say "gimme kiss" The only way to know if they are male or female is a dna test!

Heh, I have been going over there consistently for a while now. So he probably knows me, right (they get free roam in the day)?

I asked her after it happened and she says he must like me because he usually doesn't do that unless he likes someone. He wasn't acting aggressive so I think I'll go with him being friendly.

Her newest female is such a sweetheart. She lets me pet her and everything.
